CONCERT #2 - CLAIRE EDWARDES
Claire Edwardes OAM is a force of nature in new music. With infectious enthusiasm and the moniker of ‘sorceress of percussion,’ she has built a trailblazing career in new music through extensive commissioning of solo percussion works, championing female composers and gender equity in classical music, and performing around the world for audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
This solo recital for marimba and vibraphone features works from her latest album, "Dual Attractor", ranging from the shimmering textures of Missy Mazzoli’s "Orizzonte" and Gemma Peacocke’s feminist riff on poison and pleasure, "I Promise Not to Poison You xoxo", to Claire’s own genre-defying work in collaboration with techno master Paul Mac, "Dual Attractor" - dreamscapes capturing the creative exchange that has guided Claire’s work over three decades.
Experience the vitality of contemporary percussion through an ever-evolving sound world that reimagines what percussion can be and how it reflects our world today.
